Bangladeshi Tigers are confident to beat Pakistan in an upcoming series commencing from April 15. Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan believes his side deserves to be favourites in the ODI series against Pakistan later this month, and said it’s their best chance to beat the side on home soil.
Hasan who is currently in India to play the Indian Premiere League (IPL) said, “I think we should be starting as favourites to win the ODI series against Pakistan. I think this is our best chance to win against Pakistan. Everyone in the team believes so, too. We have proved that we can beat any team at home. If we play our best cricket, we can do well against any side. We beat New Zealand seven times, and they are the World Cup runners-up,” local media reported.
“It is a very important year for us since it will be a 10-team World Cup next time. We need to go up the rankings. I will start training from tomorrow. I will only play two matches in the IPL so the Pakistan series will be on my mind. If I do well in the two matches that confidence will work in my favour,” he added.
Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe 5-0 at home late last year, swept New Zealand 3-0 in late 2013 and enjoyed victories over India, Sri Lanka and West Indies on home soil in 2012.
